I hope The Factor wins the Arkansas Derby just like he did today.
Your hope will come true. This is actually the same hope I have for UM. I hope he crushes The Wood.
The Factor can wire this Derby. He can control start to finish.

If they are smart with Caleb's Posse, they go straight to the Lone Star, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana Derby route and make a load of cash. He ain't bad.

This is looking like the perfect storm coming into the Derby w/ The Factor and Uncle Mo.

Uncle Mo will most likely be wide and a few lengths off of the early pace.

The pace pressure for The Factor will certainly come from somewhere else.

I don't dispute that.

The far turn could get ugly if Flashpoint and The Factor both make it to the Derby gate.

Flashpoint making the Derby is the worst thing in the world for The Factor - I agree.

Lone Star Derby is on turf this year I think, and Ohio Derby is only 100k.

You didn't mention the Iowa Derby which is probably a perfect spot for him.

I'm predicting a 99 Beyer for The Factor.

His number is close. Probably will come back a 100 ... though it will be interesting see if they cut race #4 loose.

I thought he moved too soon, but he actually was coming again at the end before the Factor pulled away. Not bad considering the way the track was playing, but to be honest....that turned out to be a pretty weak field. I'm not sure I want anyone in that race on Derby day.

The Factor is obviously a contender on the Trail and he's probably going to run in the Derby. How does this effect Uncle Mo? I like the way the Derby is shaping up. I thought Archarcharch got a good learning experience being trapped inside backing off and then when asked for run was not able to catch up to The Factor. These next 12 weeks will be very interesting.
